Do you have a hard disk with a few GB of free space,
mounted in a machine with 512 MB of RAM? If yes,
then go to the website
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/frs/?group_id=36,
click on "View all project files" located under a grey bar
"Latest File Releases", and download the file
"Setting_up_Survival_Guide.pdf".
The first 1/2 of this file will lead you through steps
of installing coLinux on your Windows machine.
You do not need VMWare, dual boot, or any of that
stuff. You will not need to repartition your disk.
You will be able to run Debian Linux in a sandbox
under Windows 2k or Windows XP.
Another possible solution is to buy Knoppix CD for
less than $10. It is a bootable Linux CD. In all likelihood
you will be able to run Linux with minimum hassle on your
PC. (However, Knoppix does boot Linux on hardware rather
than running in a sandbox alongside Windows.)

I am guessing any of Oberon V4 distribution would be
a good starting point. They all shared Unix host interface.
